Which Heretics and Heroes Should We Profile Next?

Dear Readers — Happy New Year! Thank you for supporting First Breakfast.

In 2024, we profiled eighteen Heretics and Heroes who waged war on complacency and did what was needed to win. Now we want to know who you’d like to read about in 2025. Submit your favorite(s) below.

Heretics can hail from the military or industry; they may be dead or alive; and their achievements may be associated with the U.S. or her allies. The only real criteria is that they bucked convention to accomplish something great.

And if you’re a great writer and want to submit a guest profile for consideration — we’d love to hear from you. Reach out at firstbreakfast@substack.com
